List of fun things to do with your child before they enter kindergarten.
Library staff members have put together the Greenburgh Public Library Covid-19 Memory Project. We are putting out a personal call to everyone in the community to share their stories so that future generations will know what happened in 2020.
Staff members want to hear from residents of all ages of the Greenburgh community how daily life has been impacted and transformed by this global pandemic.
Please share in writing, drawing, photos, or videos describing your experiences about what has happened to you this year. This is our moment as a community to remember how we all endured this virus and how we persevered.
*Please note, by submitting your memory you give the library permission to post your memory on the Greenburgh Library Website and social media accounts. *
